The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Chapter 923: News of Silver Fox Chapter 923: Chapter 923: News of Silver Fox “At that time, we may well become competitors,” Cui Tianyu said with a smile, but his words were laden with deeper meaning.

Although it is unclear how many Phoenix Spirit Jade Branches will emerge here, considering such a rare and precious treasure from heaven and earth, it is unlikely there will be many. There is probably only one, destined to be obtained by just one person.

The cards Fang Lin revealed when he severely injured the tall man were enough to make both Cui Tianyu and the woman in the yellow dress wary.

Of course, even so, they would not give up the pursuit of the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch. After all, the item is far too precious and they each had their orders to follow, naturally doing their utmost to compete for it.

“However, at the moment, we still don't know where the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch is. Do either of you have any clues?” Fang Lin casually asked.

Cui Tianyu smiled and replied, “We have no leads. Speaking of which, Master Fang, as a Pill Refiner, you must have a knack for finding such treasures. Perhaps you have some information you could share with us?”

Fang Lin knew that even if these two had clues, they would not share them with him.

Of course, if it were him, he would do the same.

Fang Lin shook his head: “I've just arrived here and haven't started searching, so I don't have any clues.”

“In that case, we might as well part ways,” the woman in the yellow dress said indifferently.

Both Fang Lin and Cui Tianyu nodded. From now on, they would be competitors and could no longer act together. Moreover, they were not familiar with each other and had no idea what the other was thinking.

“Master Fang, I take my leave,” Cui Tianyu said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Fang Lin before turning to leave.

The woman in the yellow dress didn't say anything and just left.

After the two had departed, Fang Lin also left the area. The commotion from their earlier altercation had been too great, and he feared it would soon draw others' attention, which would not be good.

Having traveled dozens of miles away, Fang Lin stopped and opened his Spirit Eye to confirm that there was no one around. Then he entered the Supreme Saint Hall.

Inside the Supreme Saint Hall, Fang Lin brought out the Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng to recount all it had witnessed in these mountains.

The Corpse Ginseng's story was vivid, occasionally embellished, but Fang Lin was familiar with Old Pickle's personality and thus understood everything clearly.

“It seems the rumors of the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch are true, or else so many powers from the Upper Three Countries would not send people here. However, there seems to be something strange in these mountains; some formidable Demon Beasts have appeared, and even a few Demon Kings have shown themselves. Could they also be here for the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch?” Fang Lin murmured to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

He then shook his head, “It's improbable that the Demon Beasts are here for the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch as well. Perhaps there is something else about to happen in this area. I hope it won't cause too much trouble.”

The appearance of several Demon Kings gave Fang Lin an ominous feeling. Perhaps other Martial Artists in these mountains weren't aware of it, but Fang Lin, after all, had come from Qian Country. The presence of Demon Kings in the lands beyond Qian Country was not good news for the Lower Three Kingdoms.

Any single Demon King could destroy any of the Lower Three Kingdoms; even if Qian Country's best fighters were to emerge, it would likely be difficult to stop a single Demon King.

If the Demon Kings in these mountains were to go berserk, it would lead to a disaster, and the Lower Three Kingdoms would be doomed to utter devastation, something Fang Lin did not wish to see.

“Boy, your grandpa here knows a few more things, and it's probably worse than you think,” the Corpse Ginseng spoke, glancing at Fang Lin and deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Fang Lin frowned, “What else is there? Just say everything at once.”

The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng stretched out its hand, meaning it wanted the ancient medicinal herbs before it would talk.

Out of options, Fang Lin directly gave it a piece of ancient medicinal herb and waited for the Corpse Ginseng to continue.

The Corpse Ginseng took a bite of the herb and then said, “Your grandpa here also saw a Silver Fox.”

“What?” Fang Lin exclaimed in surprise, his expression turning grave in an instant.

The Silver Fox, again the Silver Fox!

Back at Hundred Beast Mountain, Fang Lin had seen a Silver Fox that was terrifying, stirring up storms, uniting all of the demon beasts of Hundred Beast Mountain to attack Demon Suppressing City, almost causing a great disaster.

Now, in these mountains and rivers, a Silver Fox had appeared again? Fang Lin instantly associated this one with the one he had seen before.

“That's right, it's the same Silver Fox we've seen before, although it was smaller than the one in Hundred Beast Mountain, but it looked exactly the same. It was followed by other demon beasts as well, looking very imposing. Your grandpa almost got discovered by that fox,” the Corpse Ginseng said with a lingering fear.

The more Fang Lin heard, the heavier his heart sank. This could not be a mistake; that sinister Silver Fox had appeared again, and this time right here in the Lower Three Kingdoms.

“Playing the same old tricks, or is it plotting something new?” Fang Lin murmured to himself, anxious about the news of the Silver Fox's appearance, fearing that the scene of the attack on Demon Suppressing City might happen again.

After all, Demon Suppressing City was protected by numerous experts from Xuan Country, and it just managed to withstand the siege even after the arrival of the Xuan Emperor and the two Hall Masters.

But what of the Lower Three Kingdoms? How many experts do they have? How many cities are as sturdy as Demon Suppressing City? They would likely be unable to withstand the onslaught of the demon beasts.

Of course, although there are many demon beasts in the Lower Three Kingdoms, they don't compare to the ones from Hundred Beast Mountain. At least the number of Demon Kings is far less than in Hundred Beast Mountain.

Even so, once the demon beasts from all over the Lower Three Kingdoms are rallied by the Silver Fox, it would still be a terrifying force, one that could potentially destroy the Lower Three Kingdoms.

Although this was only Fang Lin's speculation, occurrences of similar dire situations led him to think this way.

“Kid, your grandpa advises you, that fox is not something we can afford to provoke, it's better to hide,” the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng said after finishing a piece of the ancient medicinal herb and dusting off its hands.

Fang Lin didn't speak. Of course, he knew the Silver Fox was not to be trifled with. According to what the Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong said, it was likely that this Silver Fox was striving for the title of the current Demon Saint, and a beast with the power to compete for such a position could never be an ordinary one.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Lin put aside the matter of the Silver Fox for the moment. Although this issue might become quite thorny, it was still more important to find the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch first.

Right then, Fang Lin opened the Nine Palace Bag he had obtained from the tall man to see what was inside.

The moment he looked, Fang Lin felt a wave of disappointment.

Apart from some pills and a few jade slips, there were scarce other items in the Nine Palace Bag, and at a glance, there seemed to be no particularly precious items.

“Stop looking, this guy was dirt poor,” the Corpse Ginseng said dismissively.
